Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on January 01, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Senator Bob Menendez! Another year wiser and still effortlessly steering the ship of foreign relations. You've represented New Jersey since 2006—no wonder your experience on Capitol Hill is as legendary as a classic Springsteen gig in Newark. Here's hoping today brings you fewer debates and more cake-filled caucuses.

Your recent leadership navigating international policies reminds everyone that diplomacy isn't all tense handshakes; sometimes it's also gentle reminders to colleagues about world geography during committee hearings. Keep championing global understanding while reminding us why nobody messes with someone from Jersey—you've got diplomacy covered!

Cheers to another outstanding trip around the sun!
